Ann Codee (March 5, 1890–May 18, 1961) was a Belgian actress with numerous hit films on her résumé.
Codee married actor Frank Orth around 1911 or so. She and her husband toured American vaudeville in the 1910s and 1920s in a comedy act. The team made its film debut in 1929, appearing in a series of multilingual movie shorts. Thereafter, both Codee and Orth flourished as Hollywood character actors. Codee was seen in dozens of films as florists, music teachers, landladies, governesses and grandmothers. She played a variety of ethnic types, from the very French Mme. Poullard in Jezebel (1938) to the Gallic Tante Berthe in The Mummy's Curse (1941). Ann Codee's last film appearance was as a tight-corseted committeewoman in Can-Can (1960). Her career highlights include her part in the Natalie Wood film Kings Go Forth (1948) and the Oscar-nominated Ann Miller film Kiss Me Kate (1953). Codee died of a heart attack on May 18, 1961.
There's something broken in my heart
Oh it was nothing you done
There's something broken in my heart
I guess that's just the way it comes
There's something broken in my heart
Something I just can't fix
There's something broken
Something broken in my heart
I've tried every powder and every pill
To put it back together somehow
Rode high with the fool up on the hill
Come down with the draft horse and the plow
I've been to the land of milk and honey
And honey I'm broke down now
There's something broken
Something broken in my heart
I'm gonna go downtown tonight and find me a woman
Try to keep those jagged edges from my mind
And if I don't start a fight I'll just keep running
'Till I break on through into the morning light
There's something broken in my heart
Oh it was nothing you done
There's something broken in my heart
I know I'm not the only one
There's something broken in my heart
Something I just can't fix
There's something broken
